    Due: 03/06/19 by 11:59pm (EEC130B Homework Box in Kemper 2131)

    Problem 1: Parallel-plate waveguide modes.

    Consider a parallel plate waveguide filled with a nonmagnetic medium with a


    permittivity ε=9𝜀0 . The spacing between the plates is 10 cm.
    What are the cutoff frequency and cutoff wavelength of the m=2 TE mode?
    What are the cutoff frequency and cut off wavelength if the permittivity of the
    filling material is increased to ε=16𝜀0 ? What is the propagation constant of the
    TE2 mode at 1.5 GHz in each case?

    Problem 2: dielectric waveguide modes.

    How many modes exist in a dielectric waveguide that has the following
    parameters? Index of refraction of the core n1 = 1.6, index of refraction of the
    cladding n2 = 1.5, wavelength λ = 1.0μm, waveguide core thickness 2d = 4 μm.

    Problem 3: TE2 mode in a dielectric slab waveguide.

    Find the cutoff frequency for the TE2 mode in a dielectric slab waveguide with
    ε=7𝜀0 and thickness 2 cm, which is embedded in another dielectric with ε=3𝜀0 .
    Assume nonmagnetic case.

    Problem 4: Millimeter-wave dielectric slab waveguide.

    Consider a dielectric slab waveguide with 𝜀𝑑 =4𝜀0 and 𝜇𝑑 =𝜇0 surrounded by air to
    be used to guide millimeter waves. Find the guide thickness d such that only the
    TE1 mode can propagate at frequency up to 300GHz.

    Problem 5: Power and loss for the TE parallel-plate mode.

    Find average power transfer and conductor loss for a TE mode between parallel
    planes to verify the expression for attenuation:
    2𝑅𝑠 (𝑤𝑐 ⁄𝑤)2
    (𝛼𝑐 )𝑇𝐸 =
    𝜂𝑎√1 − (𝑤𝑐 ⁄𝑤)2

    The magnetic field of a particular mode in a parallel-plate air waveguide with a
    plate separation of 2.5 cm is given by

    where x and y are both in meters.

    b. What is the operating frequency?
    c. Find the corresponding electric field.
    d. Find the lowest-order similar mode (TEm or TMm) that does not propagate in this
    waveguide at the same frequency.

    Consider a parallel plate waveguide filled with a nonmagnetic medium with a
    permittivity ε=9𝜀0 . The spacing between the plates is 10 cm.
    What are the cutoff frequency and cutoff wavelength of the m=2 TE mode?
    What are the cutoff frequency and cut off wavelength if the permittivity of the
    filling material is increased to ε=16𝜀0 ? What is the propagation constant of the
